FC Montana (Bulgarian: ФК Монтана) is a Bulgarian professional football club based in Montana, which currently plays in the Second League, the second level of the Bulgarian football league system.
Montana plays its home matches at the Ogosta Stadium, which has a capacity of 8,000 spectators. The club's traditional colours are blue, white and red. After a prolonged period of absence, they were propelled back into professional football in the mid-1990s with the help of some experienced and talented footballers, including the ex-captain of Bulgarian international Stiliyan Petrov.
FC Montana was founded in 1921 when the few amateur sports clubs and organizations in the city decided to merge into one club. The new club was named SC Hristo Mihaylov after the Bulgarian communist party activist Hristo Popmihaylov, who was born in the town. Since then, Montana have spent a total of ten seasons in the Bulgarian First League and 43 seasons in the lower Second League. They have also reached the Bulgarian Cup final once, in 2016.
